  Wetlands in urban areas act as natural buffers that control floods, mitigate fire risk, and regulate local climates, helping reduce the impact of extreme weather events on communities. Quantifying carbon stocks is critical for evaluating the potential of an ecosystem to mitigate the effects of global climate change and the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emitted from industries, the burning of fossil fuels, and deforestation, which results in greenhouse gases (GHGs). Hence, vegetation near wetlands in terms of agroforestry, plantations, and reforestation has been suggested as one of the most appropriate land management systems for mitigating atmospheric CO2 through the photosynthesis process. Natural herbs, grasses, and soil were studied near the wetland ecosystem in Madhya Pradesh, India to understand how much vegetation and soil are applicable for capturing carbon in urban ar..
